Hi Alexander,
thanks for the kind words!
My advice is to code as much as possible: just reading books and watching talks is not enough.
Start simple -- do not worry about doing things right the first time. Then start to ask yourself (and even people in the community) how you can do better.
Books and courses can guide you through this process learning -- and that is exactly what I'd like for Get Programming with Scala to be.
Another advice is to do open source: by contributing or even having your own open source project, the community can review your code and help you become a better programmer whatever the language of your choice.
Cheers,
Daniela
